New Rick and Morty Anime Premiering Soon on Adult Swim and Max

Adult Swim and Max are gearing up to debut a new Rick and Morty anime series this week, with its premiere scheduled for midnight on Thursday (effectively Friday). Fans can catch the English-subtitled version, which features Japanese audio, on Toonami at midnight on Saturday (effectively Sunday). Additionally, the show will be available on Adult Swim Canada, expanding its reach to a broader audience.

The anime features a talented cast, including Youhei Tadano and Joe Daniels as Rick, Keisuke Chiba and Gabriel Regojo as Morty, Akiha Matsui and Donna Bella Litton as Summer, Manabu Muraji and Joe Daniels as Jerry, and Takako Fuji and Patricia Duran as Beth. For those who miss the initial airing, each episode will be accessible for streaming on Max the day after it airs on Adult Swim and will also be available for digital purchase.

This anime is an original production, drawing on themes and events from the main Rick and Morty animated series. Directed by Takashi Sano, known for his work on "Tower of God," the 10-episode series is produced by Telecom Animation Film, with Sola Entertainment also involved in the production. The creative team includes experienced professionals such as art director Arisa Matsuzawa, CGI director Sou Ki, and composer Tetsuya Takahashi.

The opening theme song, "Love is Entropy," is performed by OC from Code of Zero and Cameron Earnshaw, with OtoneZ handling the lyrics, composition, and arrangement.

The anime is the latest in a series of Rick and Morty animated shorts that have aired on Toonami, including "Samurai & Shogun," "The Great Yokai Battle of Akihabara," and "Rick and Morty vs. Genocider." With its unique blend of humor and creativity, this new anime is sure to be a hit with fans of the franchise.
